Harvest, Store & Prepare: Building Real Self-Reliance | Wednesdays with Wayne
Description
Preparedness doesn't begin when an emergency happens. It begins with what you're doing today.
Wayne Rankin—the Practical Prepper—returns for Wednesdays with Wayne with a look at harvest season and the everyday skills that build real self-reliance.
Wayne and Joe talk about harvesting and preserving food, storing emergency water, filtration, expanding the garden, hunting and filling the freezer, and turning harvested timber into usable lumber for future projects.
We also hear from Rosanna Rankin, who takes us into the garden to demonstrate harvesting rhubarb and explains several ways it can be preserved and used.
Underneath it all is a simple idea: preparedness isn't about panic. It's about developing skills, using what you have, and taking responsibility before you need to.
